IN THE WEST.

A FATAL blow was given to the saloons
in Council Bluffs when Judge Deemer rem
dered decision in the district court grant,
ing perpetual injunction against Adolph
Doerhinger, saloon keeper, and George d.
Brown, landlord. The sheriff has been
ordered to seize all the liquors and fixtures
of the place and dispose of them at auction
to pay the costs. The defendants are also
required to pay 800 attorneys fee. The
case was pending several days, and the de-
cision was watched with interest by both
sides. The remaining cases will probably
be disposed of in the same manner.

MRS. McGARIGLE, wife of the noted
Chicago boodler, followed her husbands
example, and has left that city by the Lake
Michigan route, without making public her
destination. There is a suspicion that she
has gone to join McGarigle, but it is quite
possible that her absence means only a
visit 10 relatives in Milwaukee. Nothing
further is known definitely than the fact
that, accompanied by all three of her
children, Mrs. McGarigle boarded lake
steamer just as it was leaving the dock,
bound north.

The Supreme Council Of the American
Legion Of Honor has adjourned after .
session lasting eight days. The visiting
members have been royalty entertained,
and are profuse in their praise Of the hos
pitalities and attentions shown to them.
The work and enjoyment Of the week was

was the accustomed line Of toasts, the first
OF which, "to the President Of the United

Colonel Mclean, Deputy Commissioner Of
Pensions. The Legion now numbers 81, 900
members, and has paid out in death and

The American Way.

As rule the American never wants to re tire. He has an idea that it is his duty ''to die with the harness on." Accordingly he keeps himself in the traces, he works day and night, his hours of recreation are reduced to 0 mini mum, he doesn't even give himself sufficient time to eat his meals in such way that his food can be the most easily digested, the ten. sion of his nervous system is rarely if ever entirely relaxed. He has his wish, he dies ''with the harness on," but his death takes place eight or ten years earlier than it would If he had known how to do his work without excitement, and to give himself the repose which advancing years require. It is true that there is another alternative to which death would be preferable, for, with enfeebled mind he exists during the latter part of his life i'll mental condition requiring the watchful care of his friends or his incarcera- tion within the wall of a lunatic asylum.
 have said that this is the fault of the average American, not by any means in- tending to imply that there are not many who are wise enough to act differently, and also many who, notwithstanding their sins against the laws of their being, manage to escape in this world, at least, the full punish ment for their offenses. But I do mean to say that such cases are infinitely more com mon among us than among any other nation more than any other people, are so consti- tuted, either from birth or education, that undue mental excitement is necessary fac tor to their existence.-William A.

Up in a Balloon.

Our ship goes softly on it's way-higher and higher, the earth seems bigger and bigger, as the circular line it makes with the sky grows larger and larger. With two and a quarter tons weight, still our bird mounts rapidly upward-now two miles, now two and a half. We sail far above the fields of yellow wheat and dark green corn of Illinois. Rivers are mere white threads, and lakes are patches of silver set into a carpet of many hues The forest trees are bushes that look as if a small scythe might easily now them down. The thin air and our rapid upward flight makes my head roar, as if with the sounds of noisy drums; feel dizzy-like one about to faint away
 Now we are E, ,OOO feet high-nearly three miles,
 Our ship has not yet come to the extreme top of her flight We arc far above the clouds. Over the edges of tho thick white vapor we gaze at the earth spread out below like map, with green and gray and brown and yellow spots thereon. From the dis comfort of 96 degrees of heat in the shade when we left the earth we have come to the chilly comfort of 37-a drop of nearly 60 de- grees in less than an hour. This is a quick turn-one that never comes to man or beast below. Yet up here, where we are sailing softly, the air is so dry that the cold affects us much less than would the same tempera- ture on the earth's surface-St. Nicholas.

Ending of n Career.

A close carriage stopped in front of one of the art galleries. Out of it stepped, in mani fest feebleness, woman whose figure would have been shapely and commanding had not illness bowed it. In the palid face recog- nized once handsome actress. Away back in the days of the third or fourth annual re- production of the "Black Crook" she was the Stalacta The dudes of decade and half ago sat ill tho front seats of Booths theatre and ardently admired her. Of late years she has been out of sight here, though she has performed in small travelling companies. Now she is dying of consumption, and is an inmate of public hospital. Barely able to go out at all, she seemed to have made this outing for tho purpose of seeing Piloty's painting, "The Wise and Foolish Virgins" which was on exhibition in the establishment which she entered. She spent only quarter of an hour in gazing languidly on the famous can vas, and I wondered whether the subject had a special interest for her. It is a fact that for popular stage purposes there are usually no moro than ten years of life for beautiful woman.-New York Sun.

TO DRY DEAD BODIES.

A Young Inventors Scheme for "Knocl1-
 ing Out" Cemeteries and Crematories.
 Another answer to the question of how best to dispose of the dead has been given by J. G. Meyers, of Washington. He has invented Q plan which he believes to be superior to cremation, burial, or any other ancient or modern method of treating dead bodies. The new Mausoleum and Safe Deposit for the Dead is the name of this new contrivance
 MT. Meyers plan may be regarded as Q compromise between the rwo extremes of interment and cremation. In a fireproof building spaces will be provided just large enough to hold single coffin. When a coffin with dead body is placed in one of these the door of the apartment is dramatically sealed. Running from these apartments are tubes which bring air into the deadrooms and also carry it downward by a forced draft to a central furnace below, where are consumed all gases and fluids escaping from the bodies. Dead bodies treated in this manner will, in a short time, it is claimed, become naturally preserved or dried and so remain
 Ample provision will be made to prevent the entombing of persons really dead A re- ceiving room will be provided with an cleo trical apparatus so arranged that the slight est movement in the coffin will set off an alarm. This will continue for hours, if need be, and will also prove an indicator which will draw attention to the place where the movement occurred. If, again, for any req son the removal of the dead should be de sired, the bodies in the mausoleum, unlike those in gloomy pyramids of Gizeh, are al ways accessible and in such a state of preser- vation as to make a transfer practicable and comparatively easy. Arrangements will also be made for embalming bodies and for entombing those treated in this way that they may be seen at any time by friends.
 By the adoption of this system, MT. Meyers maintains, body snatching will be made i'm possible. There will be but a single entrance to the building, guarded day and night Yet notwithstanding all these appointments the cost of entombing in the mausoleum will not exceed that of a respectable interment in any well known cemetery. Families could be ac commodated with sections, including as many single apartments as desired. The fronts of these apartments can be adorned as elaborately as a tombstone, and with fully as great variety of ornamen tation. An ordinary mausoleum could bt placed within the limits of city as well a. on the cemetery grounds, and be far less ob jectionable if built and managed as proposed than the average brewery or sugar refinery New York Tribune. ....

money in work that was good as

bed into Helena they ran within one
hundred feet of the Northern Pacific

place where the Helena & Red Noun
tain branch joins the n. P. Main line
east to the curve where the Montana
Central turns into Last Chance gulch.
About month ago 1t was discovered
that all this work had been done on
the Northern Pscific's right Of way,
which extends 300 feet on each side Of
their track. and the Montana Central
at once gave 1t up and COM
menced building another road on
their own ground. It was one of
those engineering mistakes that will
occur at times under the best supervi-
